May 4, 2017 3 4 May 4, 2017 Message from the Music Director Dear Friends, I wish to say that I miss you all very much and hoped to be there with you tonight to celebrate the close of our 2016/17 season. I am very thankful for your unconditional support during this last year photo by Rodrigo de Souza of my life as my husband and I have brought our three newest “symphonies” into the world. It is with great pleasure to welcome you to our final concert of the season tonight. I thank my dear friend Christian Reif for stepping in for what will be another magnificent performance this season. We bring you one great work by one great composer, Dmitri Shostakovich’s 13th Symphony, written in 1962. You will have the pleasure of hearing the incomparable bass- baritone Denis Sedov. I’m grateful to the incredible Marika Kuzma for directing the men’s chorus who you will hear this evening. The subtitle of tonight’s piece is Babi Yar. Near Kiev, it was the site of the massacre of an estimated 100-150,000 people by German soldiers during WWII. One of these episodes took place over the course of two days in September 1941, in which 33,771 Jews were killed. Shostakovich’s 13th symphony is based on this profound human tragedy, as a denunciation of anti-Semitism in all its forms. The piece includes the words by the Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko, whose recent death in April is an enormous loss to the world. Shostakovich said after reading Yevtushenko’s words: “Many had heard about Babi Yar, but it took Yevtushenko’s poem to make them aware of it. They tried to destroy the memory of Babi Yar, first the Germans and then the Ukrainian government. But after Yevtushenko’s poem, it became clear that it would never be forgotten. That is the power of art. Art destroys silence.” To all of you, thank you for being here tonight and supporting Berkeley Symphony. I can’t wait to see you all again on October 5th for the beginning of our next season. Much love, Joana Carneiro May 4, 2017 5 6 May 4, 2017 Message from the Board President Greetings! Tonight’s performance is the last mainstage program for this season, but Berkeley Symphony tirelessly continues our work to nurture the next generation photo © Margaretta K. Mitchell of music lovers and young musicians through our Music in the Schools program. This season we’ve reached nearly 5,000 elementary and middle school children with this important partnership with Berkeley Unified Public Schools. This one-on-one music instruction is fostering a love for music in a whole new generation of young people, particularly during a time when public education in the arts is threatened in so many communities. Your support makes this program possible! Stay tuned for exciting announcements for our 2017/18 season! Berkeley Symphony continues our mission of bringing innovative and adventurous programming to the Bay Area with our mainstage concert series at Zellerbach Hall and our Berkeley Symphony and Friends Chamber Music Series at the Piedmont Center for the Arts. Please subscribe early for our Zellerbach series. If you have not already done so in the past, I encourage you to also join us for our chamber concerts. Each one is a splendid, intimate evening of wonderful music and truly spectacular talent. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I offer sincere thanks to YOU, our loyal audience, for your love of Berkeley Symphony. We are all dedicated to the continued success and future endeavors of YOUR symphony, bringing new works, commissions, and old chestnuts to the Berkeley community and beyond! Yours, Tricia Swift May 4, 2017 7 RETHINKING HIGH SCHOOL Created by Teachers for Students 2727 College Ave. Berkeley 510.841.8489 MaybeckHS.org 8 May 4, 2017 Message from the Executive Director Dearest Friends, We close our season tonight with a rare performance of the epic Shostakovich Symphony No. 13, “Babi Yar” to commemorate the 75th photo by Marshall Berman anniversary of this infamous time in history. It is the first performance in the US and likely, the world, since the recent death of the Russian poet, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, who authored the poem to which the music is set. His words serve as a potent reminder and powerful voice against the atrocities of their time and, sadly, bear all too many similarities to the harrowing acts against humanity that have since occurred in our world. I am pleased to share with you some exciting highlights from our upcoming season. We begin the season with Beethoven’s 1st Symphony and end with his iconic 9th Symphony, a piece we have not performed for nearly 30 years. In between, we present works by John Adams, Music Alive composer-in-residence Anna Clyne, Hector Berlioz and much more. Soloists will include Berkeley’s own Tessa Seymour performing a world premiere cello concerto, Conrad Tao returning to perform Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Lisa Delan, soprano, and Lester Lynch, baritone, performing Gordon Getty’s Joan and the Bells. We are very pleased to announce an exciting partnership with BAMPFA. Stay tuned for more about this very soon. For its 5th season, our Berkeley Symphony & Friends Chamber Series returns on 5 Sundays at 5. And, of course, our award-winning Music in the Schools program will continue to enrich all BUSD elementary and middle schools. Finally, and certainly not the least of all, we thank you for your dedication to Berkeley Symphony’s adventurous and innovative programming. Your loyalty and generosity make possible the exciting premieres, collaborations, and classics you have come to expect from your Berkeley Symphony. With deepest gratitude, René Mandel May 4, 2017 9 10 May 4, 2017 Board of Directors & Advisory Council Board of Directors Executive Committee Tricia Swift, President Kathleen G.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.
